ABSTRACT

Confucians are perceived as valuing the ultimate importance of living a moral life. The idea of making people virtuous or the “ultimate perfection” (至善) is perceived as one of the key features of Confucian political morality. Many contemporary Confucian political philosophers have also recognized this as the defining feature of Confucian political ideals. For example, Joseph Chan understands Confucianism as a kind of political perfectionism. Sungmoon Kim argues for Confucian democratic perfectionism “in the sense of permitting the state’s nonneutral commitment to a constellation of Confucian values that citizens in East Asia still broadly share and practice despite their diverse private moral values and/or religious faiths”. In the first section of this talk, I will first discuss main arguments for and against liberal perfectionism. In the second section, I will present the main arguments for Confucian perfectionism. Then in the third section, I will present the main arguments against Confucian perfectionism. In the last section, I will argue that there is no reasonable solution to the dilemmas that face Confucian perfectionism.

摘要

儒家被认为重视过道德生活的终极重要性。“至善”是儒家政治道德的重要特征之一。许多当代儒家政治哲学家也认为这是儒家政治理想的决定性特征。例如，陈祖为认为儒家思想是一种政治至善主义。金圣文主张儒家民主至善主义，“从某种意义上说，允许国家对儒家价值观的非中立承诺，尽管东亚公民的个人道德价值观和/或宗教信仰各不相同，但他们仍然广泛地分享和实践儒家价值观”。在本次演讲的第一部分，我将首先讨论支持和反对自由至善主义的主要论证。在第二部分，我将介绍儒家至善主义的主要论证。然后在第三部分，我将提出反对儒家至善主义的主要论证。在最后一部分，我将论证儒家至善主义面临的困境没有合理的解决方案。
